magnetic_poleI'm actually not on twitter much at all, but I thought some of you who are (and who are interested in the politics of race and education in the US) might be interested in this campaign:
#wishilearnedinhs
This hash-tag has been created in response to the Ethnic Studies ban in Arizona. It is designed to bring attention to the cultural gaps in our education; the gaps that widen as governments and school districts privilege some histories, while silencing other cultures and points of view. Over the next 5 days, beginning February 1, we ask that you Tweet, Facebook, or blog what you wished you learned in high school, in response to the below question: What do you wish you learned in high school as it relates to various cultural identities, histories, and perspectives?
It's interesting just to scroll through the tweets and see what folks wish they'd learned. I'm not sure if you need to be signed in to read, but here's a short Colorlines article if you can't see the tweets themselves.
